NEUR301 Current Topics in Neuroscience

NEUR 301 is an advanced-level paper for 300-level Neuroscience students who intend
to continue on to do postgraduate study. Only 16 students may enrol in NEUR 301 each
year and admission is based on academic merit and requires the approval of the Director
of the Neuroscience Programme. NEUR 301 does not count as one of the four 300-level
papers required for a major in Neuroscience, but it does count as one of the five
300-level papers needed to be considered for admission to BSc(Hons) in Neuroscience.
NEUR 301 is not required for admission to BSc(Hons) in Neuroscience.

NEUR 301 is usually taught in three independent modules, each lasting about four
weeks. Each module is taught by a different neuroscientist from one of the departments
contributing to the Neuroscience Programme.

NEUR 301 is internally assessed.
The neuroscientist teaching the module assigns and marks the assessment(s) associated
with that module. The teaching staff collaborate to ensure a variety of assessment
types and skills are assessed.
